+# 2YikStik
+
+## Motivation
+
+This is a "replacement" for Bdale's first L3 certification airframe,
+[YikStik](../YikStik), which was mostly lost. The name was suggested by
+Bdale's wife Karen to imply that it's in homage "to YikStik". The project
+sat as just a simulation file for a long time, until Ed Shibadeh from
+[Giant Leap](http://www.giantleaprocketry.com/) admitted at Airfest 16 that
+he had one last 98-75mm Slimline Tail Cone in his personal collection that
+he would be willing to let go of. It's silly how much the little things
+matter sometimes! The tailcone wasn't even part of the early YikStik design,
+but once it was added it somehow became an important element of the overall
+design that Bdale wasn't willing to do without on this project...
+
